The numbers one through nine are all monomorphemic. After that, numbers are in groups of ten with the formative pulu, in groups of hundreds with the formative gatu, and in groups of thousands with the formative ribu.
If there is just one group of ten, hundred, or thousand (i.e., ten, one hundred, and one thousand), then the formative is prefixed with ma-. For two or three groups, the words duwa (two) and tallu (three) are compounded with the formative. For groups of four to ten, the linker a is needed. In contrast, to add single numbers, the oblique marker ha is used. It is unclear why ha is used instead of the plural marker hidi.
Ordinal numbers are formed with the prefix make-.
Occasionally, the prefix meka- is used instead of make-, possibly under influence of Ilokano where the comparable prefix is mayka-.
